2.2 Operation Location

This device is designed for use in industry. You must ensure compliance with the specified environmental

conditions. Using the device in non-specified environments, e.g. on board ship or in areas containing

explosive vapours, gases or gas mixes, as well as in extreme heights, is prohibited.

Warning:

If this device is used outdoors, it must be located inside the protective area

of a lightning arrester. You have to make sure that all conductive systems

introduced from outdoor areas and connected to the device are equipped

with a lightning arrester/potential equalisation system.

This device may only be switched on after the required ambient temperature

is reached in order to avoid condensate accumulation. The same applies if

the device has previously been exposed to extreme temperature variations.

To avoid overheating in operation: Do not expose the device to any direct

radiation by sunlight or any other light or heat source.

Warning:

This is a Class A device. In a domestic environment this device may cause

radio frequency (RF) interference, in which case the user may be required to

take adequate measures.

Warning:

To avoid personal injury resulting from RF energy, a minimum distance of 20

cm must be maintained to the device

Warning:

For the prevention of water condensate accumulation, the unit should be turned

ON only when it reaches ambient temperature. This particularly applies when the

unit is subject to extreme temperature fluctuations and/or variations.

Avoid overheating during unit operations; the unit must not be exposed to

direct sunlight or any other direct light or heat sources.

2.3 Damage Caused By Improper Use

This device must immediately be shut down and protected from any accidental commissioning if the

operating system shows any obvious damage caused by, for example, improper operating or storage

conditions, or by improper use or handling.

2.4 Warranty / Repair

During the warranty period, any repair must only be carried out by the manufacturer or by a person

authorised by the manufacturer.

 This device has been certified for use with channels in the 5 GHz band in

accordance with ETSI EN 301 893 V1.5.1. With respect to this, users must

observe the following notes:

 The Access Client is using TPC on all 5 GHz channels by default with both,

indoor and outdoor configuration as well. For this reason, the devices can

always be operated with a maximum transmission power of 23 dBm.

 802.11a outdoor channels are not available for a fixed setup.

Note:

All channels for the 5 GHz band are automatically detected via auto setup.

Warning:

These notes must be observed when operating the devices:

• This device does not provide a "safe" data transmission medium

• These devices do not allow establishment of any real time systems.

• These devices do not have any deterministic system behaviour

• No MIN/MAX roaming time is guaranteed

Adherence to settings with the applicable requirements by the regulatory

authority and observance of valid antenna amplification limits is the

responsibility of the operator/operating company.

3 Mounting

3.1 Mounting options

This device is designed for industrial use and can be used in all places, where the required ambient

conditions are not disregarded. For reason of an easier installation and better operation, this device should

be installed in a place where there is no interference with the radio characteristics, if possible. Radio

characteristics are primarily affected by iron beams and massive concrete walls.

Warning:

Avoid overheating in operation. Never expose the device to any direct

irradiation by the sunlight or any other light source. IP 65 protection is only

achieved with proper installation. The tolerance in drawings amounts to +/-

1.5 mm.

4.2 Operational LED Status Displays

4.2.1 Status Display Activities when Booting

The booting process starts a soon as the RAC2000 device is connected with a power source. You can

check if the device boots by using the HOST LEDs. By means of the following diagram, the correct booting

process can be traced by watching the flashing frequency of the LEDs. No HOST cable is connected in this

case.

Note:

If the WLAN interface is enabled in the firmware, the RAC2000 device is

permanently looking for WLAN networks once the booting is completed.

4.2.2 Status display activities when resetting to default settings

By using the default setting button on the rear of the device, the RAC2000 can be reset to the default

settings regardless of the configuration.

The default setting button must be pushed, and the device then be switched on, in order to reset the device

to the default settings. The default setting button must be pushed for approx. 20 seconds. As soon as both

HOST LEDs flash, you can release the button. No HOST cable is connected in this example. By means of

the following diagram, the correct factory default process can be traced by watching the flashing frequency

of the LEDs.
